Summary/Abstract: Fichte's Philosophy of Freemasonry took as its object the culture of a secret society, quite influential and widespread but no less obscure in times of Enlightenment and early Romanticism. He tried to clarify it from the perspective of classical German idealism, and to take it over, i.e. use it for his own purposes: through it, Fichte sought to realize the idea of man as citizen of the world and thus to influence the so-called large or public society, as well as politics.
